Chapter 396 Wan Chun Healed Her Wounds
Zhang Qiuhe came to her senses and quickly instructed the shop assistants to go to the estate and invite Doctor Xu over immediately.
He then followed Du Wanchun into the shop.
The Zhou family's rice shop has rice sold on the first and second floors, and several rooms at the back, which are usually where Zhang Qiuhe and Du Wanchun rest.
Du Wanchun carried Tao Yaofang into the house and placed her on the couch where they usually rested.
Before Dr. Xu arrived, Du Wanchun first examined Tao Yaofang's leg injury.
The skin on my legs was torn open, and because it wasn't treated in time, some of it became ulcerated, and the bone was even visible in the ulcerated areas.
This was the first time Zhang Qiuhe had ever seen someone so badly injured. Her eyes widened in shock. "Wanchun...she...she..."
Du Wanchun frowned, staring intently at the wound on Tao Yaofang's leg, and said in a deep voice to Zhang Qiuhe, "Sister Zhang, please get me a knife."
"A knife?" Zhang Qiuhe asked in confusion.
Du Wanchun explained, "I helped her cut the clothes off her wound."
Zhang Qiuhe suddenly realized what was happening and turned to get the knife.
After she left, Du Wanchun took out some hemostatic pills that she usually prepared from her bosom and fed Tao Yaofang three or four of them.
Then, when no one was around, he gently stroked the wound on her leg and her lower abdomen with his palm.
Under her gentle touch, a faint green light appeared on the wound, and it slowly healed as the green light dissipated. A light also followed her on the lower abdomen.
Seeing this, Du Wanchun slowly withdrew her hand, pretending that nothing had happened.
By the time Zhang Qiuhe returned with the knife and scissors, Tao Yaofang's leg injury had healed by more than half.
"Wanchun, I've brought the knife." Zhang Qiuhe placed a small dagger and a pair of small scissors beside Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun picked up a small dagger and cut off pieces of cloth along Tao Yaofang's wound.
Zhang Qiuhe felt heartbroken looking at her, "How could such a good girl be so badly injured?"
Du Wanchun put down the knife and bandaged Tao Yaofang's wound before Zhang Qiuhe noticed the change.
At this moment, Doctor Xu also arrived.
He knocked on the door from the outside, "Manager Du."
Du Wanchun replied, "Doctor Xu, please come in."
Doctor Xu carried his medicine kit into the room and immediately took the pulse of Tao Yaofang, who was lying unconscious on the bed.
After a moment, he slowly withdrew his hand and examined the injury on Tao Yaofang's leg.
Zhang Qiuhe asked him, "Dr. Xu, how are this young lady's injuries?"
Doctor Xu withdrew his hand and said, "The young lady's injuries are not serious. She can recover after a period of recuperation at home. However, the young lady's body is too weak, and with the excessive blood loss, she will probably need to remain unconscious for a few more days."
Zhang Qiuhe patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, thank you very much, Dr. Xu."
Doctor Xu took out some medicine from his medicine box, handed it to Zhang Qiuhe, and asked, "And who is this young lady?"
Zhang Qiuhe replied with a smile, "This young lady is Zhou Quan's betrothed."
Doctor Xu was delighted to hear this, "So we're family. Good, I'll prescribe a few more tonics for her."
After saying that, he placed the qi- and blood-tonifying pills he had made on the table and instructed, "This medicine cannot be taken now. After the wound heals, give her one pill every day. In less than a month, she will have a rosy complexion and a radiant glow."
Zhang Qiuhe smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Xu."
After putting the medicine away, Doctor Xu stroked his newly grown beard and asked in confusion, "But why did this girl suffer such a strange injury?"
"The marks on those legs were clearly from being hit repeatedly with a stick."
Du Wanchun stood up and said, "That person probably wanted to break her legs."
Zhang Qiuhe, listening to their conversation, felt a chill run down her spine. "Who is so vicious?!"
Du Wanchun looked outside and said, "Whoever comes to our shop looking for her is the one who did it."
Zhang Qiuhe nodded. "That's right."
Meanwhile, at the Tao family home, Aunt Tao went to the He family home with great interest to discuss selling her eldest daughter to Master He as a concubine.
Master He was very generous; before even meeting the woman, he gave her fifty taels of silver as payment for buying a concubine.
Aunt Tao happily took the silver home. On the way, she used the silver to buy her youngest daughter some new clothes and jewelry. She also bought two roast chickens to take home for her two sons.
When she returned home with her things, she found that Tao Yaofang was not there.
She put her things down and searched around the front and back rooms.
"Second brother, third brother! Have you seen your eldest sister?" Aunt Tao shouted loudly into the house.
Tao Laosan ran out from the backyard, angrily saying, "Mother, Second Brother let Eldest Sister go!"
